5. More on AWS Lambda

Pushing to AWS Lambda is pretty straightforward.

I won't go into too much detail on how to set up every individual component as AWS has pretty decent docs but I will give you a general idea of how my set up looks like.

• I first created a Lambda instance.

• I then created an Elastic Container Registry

  • I pull my image from Dockerhub with docker pull antoniosbarotsis/rss2email-arm:latest and then follow their instructions to tag and push this image on ECR
  • I then select "Deploy new image" on Lambda and pick this image (remember to select arm architecture)

• I created an event trigger that runs on the CRON-job 0 8 ? * 6 * which runs at 8 in the morning of every 6th day of the week (which is Friday as they start from Sunday).

  

• Set up your environment variables trough Configuration > Environment Variables.

I've made a small script I use to map from feeds.txt to the FEEDS environment variable here.
